Passing the time

[Unbound]

Also, easily accessible, perhaps, but then that much more difficult to appreciate. Who is to say you won't get bored of the ease of access? Maybe you only desire those things on the other side because they feel unattainable here, so it isn't really the lack of those things which bothers you but rather it is the effort needed to pursue them?

This post scares me. Are you saying the same joys are possible here as they are on the other side. I've always looked at the other side as the ultimate release. If its just more of the same *shutter*. Does living for an eternity scare anyone else?

Aha, I can certainly understand that. By all means, do not take my words as authority as I have strong beliefs which are not necessarily normal to most. I do not believe in a "this side" and "that side", personally, so there is no issue there for me.

Also, no, I would not say the joys are the same because the worth is not the same, but the experiences still occur within a body/mind/spirit. What may seem to be of great worth and joy in "the other side" may only seem as such because of the intensity of the experience here. There is always new experience to discover, that is true no matter which side you are on, but the value and worth of that experience changes based on the conditions one has put themselves in.

As for living for eternity as scary? No, but living for eternity and being stagnant is terrifying. That is why I seek to make the most of every moment here, good or bad, because it is only here that I am able to progress forward. On the other side we cannot do the work that we are able to here.
